[Verse] See the trees burning red Through a filter of my eyes They bleed so sweet For a God who cares not for our pain And it burns so deep When they leave and the fire remains [Pre-Chorus] Like it's written in the book of fate (written in fate) [Chorus] The story of the world (story unfolds) The beauty of the pearl (beauty untold) The moral of the fable (truth never told) The terror of the dream (terror takes hold) Cataclysm (implode) [Build] Hear the thunder in the wires (thunder resounds) Static humming in my veins (static surrounds) Every heartbeat, climbing higher (Every shadow speaks your name) All the colors start to fracture (colors collapse) As the skyline starts to scream (skyline reacts) On the brink of what comes after (brink of collapse) On the edge of the extreme (edge never lasts) [Verse 2] In the field I see your face (I see your face) Smiling up at me But I'm not the same You told me that you loved me (told me you cared) Now you can't tell me anything (nothing is there) But I feel you all around me (feel you surround) My veins (in my veins) [Pre-Chorus] And the moment that the words escape It's the moment that I learn my place (know my own place) [Breakdown] Just the echo (dead sound) Of your breathing (slow fade) In the silence (void calls) Of the evening (night falls) Every whisper (sharp hiss) Turns to thunder (storm breaks) Every heartbeat (pulse cracks) Tears asunder (split soul) All the visions (mind flood) Flood and flail (chaos spills) Through the static (signal lost) Through the hail [Chorus] The story of the world (story unfolds) The beauty of the pearl (beauty untold) The moral of the fable (truth never told) The terror of the dream (terror takes hold) The story of the world (echoes unfold) The beauty of the pearl (fading from gold) The moral of the fable (faith left in cold) The terror of the dream (final threshold) [Bridge] When the sky folds in on me And the ground splits at the seams I am caught between the pages Of a prophecy that screams If the end was always written In the marrow of our bones Would you hold me through the cinder as it all comes crashing down? [Outro] The moment that the words escape (words fade away) It's the moment that I learn my place (learn my own place) In the ashes of the world (ashes remain) In the silence of the scream (silent scream stays) Just a fragment of a story (fragment remains) Just a shadow of a dream (shadow will fade) The moment that the words escape (final escape) It's the moment that I fade away
